CastleDAO player's war map

Hello General. The CastleDAO wars have started, your duty is to protect your land and battle the enemies.

This is your land:

Generals in CastleDAO need some NFTs to fight against each other and determine who is the bravest of all.

Luckily, in the blacksmit there are some Free Mints that you can have to get started, or remember, you can also invoke many of our integrated collections.

The Blacksmith

In the blacksmith you will find our different collections:

• Castles
• Generals
• DefiHeroes
• SmolBrawlers

All of our collections have interesting powers and abilities that are relevant to the CastleDAO game.

All of them have unique artworks, strength, speed, abilities and other attributes that we will see later on.

In the blacksmith you can invoke our collections, some of them are free to mint and others cost some ETH.

Training

Generals and DefiHeroes have some attributes that live on-chain, meaning that their power stays with them forever.

You can level up your Generals and DefiHeroes on the "Training" section of the map.

Each of these warriors can go on a quest every 24 hours, and then use the experience to level up all their attributes by one.

How to create a deck?

If you want to start battling, you will need to create a deck. Decks hold your warriors and determine your fighting strategy.

Visit the "My Decks" section and choose one of the gaming modes.

• Classic
• Modern
• Tower

Each game mode requires a different combination of cards. To play Classic you will need to own a Castle and a General. But in Modern you can play with any combination of NFTs or Demo Warriors.

To create your deck, select the required number of Warriors (NFTs) from any of the different collections integrated in CastleDAO.

Each collection and warrior have different Attributes. Those attributes are determined by each collection, rarity and other factors decided during the integration of the collection.

What are the different warrior attributes?

The following is a explanation of what each attribute means:

• Constitution: Indicates the health points of the warrior (multiplied by 20)
• Strength: Physical damage of the warrior
• Agility: Probability to dodge and probability of critical hit
• Defense: Block Damage based on a 100% probability
• Ability Power: Increases modifiers of abilities by a percentage
• Speed: Speed determines the order of attack, faster warriors attack first
• Magic Resistance: Diminishes Effects of abilities by percentage
• Intelligence: Increases mana regeneration. Spells are cast at 10 mana.

To boost your warriors you can add items to each of them by clicking on "Manage Items":

Each warrior has a capacity (amount of slots for items) that varies between 20-40. Castles have additional capacity, up to 250.

Items will give your warriors additional boosts and abilities.

Abilities are casted at the beginning of the turn. Each warrior can cast one ability and then their mana goes back to 0.
